PARTICULATE OF SORBIC ACID OR ALKALI METAL SORBATE AND ITS PRODUCTION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide particulate of sorbic acid or alkali metal sorbate of which the volatility is remarkably controlled and its production method. SOLUTION: The particulate of sorbic acid or alkali metal sorbate which is characterized by having a mean diameter of 150μm or more and a hardness of 70 g-3,000 g is provided. The particulate of this invention can be obtained by forming a compact by dry compression of powder of sorbic acid or alkali metal sorbate followed by grinding and classification according to the method of this invention.
